Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, a vegetable enthusiast, short on fridge staples, or simply aiming to cut back on meat, you've likely heard the myths: "Cooking without meat causes deficiencies—and the recipes are way too complicated."
Thankfully, talented bloggers share straightforward recipes, brands innovate with plant-based options, and we're increasingly knowledgeable about balanced, healthy eating—no matter your preferences or what's in your fridge.
Veggie Plates is the definitive cookbook debunking these ideas. It showcases how to eat deliciously without meat: varied plates that satisfy your taste buds, nourish your body, and require zero hassle.
Inside, find 80 ultra-balanced recipes featuring fruits and vegetables, grains or starches, legumes, and healthy fats from oilseeds—as recommended by micronutrition specialist dietician Bénédicte Van Craynest. Vibrant, colorful, diverse, and incredibly easy to prepare. Created by Virginie Garnier with stunning photos by Caspar Miskin.
Highlights include the energizing Power Plate (spaghetti, sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, hummus, and herbs), light Chimichurri (corn, zucchini, millet, red beans, almonds, guacamole, and herbs), comforting Goat Cheese and Pear of Love (pears, kale, grilled pine nuts, honey, fennel, buckwheat crepes), protein-packed Miss Sunshine (soft-boiled eggs, chickpeas, harissa, spiced carrots, and spelt), and vegan Chermoula sauce.
Yum!
